JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 74

amn0619 · April 2019

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
Ending weight round 73 - 143.7
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 74 - drop 1 pound.

4/13 - 144.0. Uptick to start off, yuck. Wins yesterday: dog walk and an upper body weights circuit. Hydrated well. Tracked food. Went to bed early. Ate too many snacks in the evening though and went over my calorie goal. My daughter’s softball tournament is cancelled due to rain so hopefully that helps me stay on track with food during the day. We are attending a Bat Mitzvah this evening so my goal is to not go overboard there. I don’t know what the food situation will be but I’m sure it will be delicious.

4/14 - 144.6. Not unexpected but I still hate to see it go up. Yesterday was my planned off day from the gym, and it coincided with a social event with food heavier than what I normally eat. And dessert 😉. So all was planned and I knew a higher number was possible. Also haven’t gotten enough sleep this weekend. Back on track today with a workout and tracking everything I eat.

4/15 - 145.1. Wrong direction! Wins Sunday: bodycombat class and a dog walk (cut shorter than I wanted due to rain but still got out there), good hydration. Tracked my food, but went over my calorie goal. We went out to a new breakfast place that opened near our house. I picked a healthier option but I'm sure it's higher calorie/uses more oil than I would make at home. And my daughter baked a cake so of course had a piece of that. I'm weak when it's in my house which is why I try not to have too much sugar at home! Today is a new day, and I feel a little stronger and more motivated than I did yesterday. At least right now

. Hopefully that holds all day.

4/16- 144.8, not a big drop, but back in the right direction at least. Wins yesterday: 5.75 mile run, long dog walk (ended the day with just under 20,000 steps!), tracked my food, hydrated well. Things that didn't go well: not sleeping well the last couple of nights, went over calorie goal thanks to the cake that my daughter made. I cannot resist! Plus running makes me hungry... Goals for today - track everything and stay at goal, working from home and I tend to eat too much those days. Will really try to be conscious of this. I want to tighten everything up this week so I go in to travel this weekend in a good place.

4/17 - 144.4. Wins yesterday: HIIT class, long dog walk, hydrated well, tracked food and was really close to calorie goal only over by a small amount. Still snacking/grazing too much though. Also have a bit of a sore throat so not feeling great yesterday and today. Will take it easier on the physical activity today to hopefully feel better. Will work very hard to stay within my calorie goal today and not graze too much (at home again today - why is it so challenging to stay away from the kitchen while working at home??). Not sleeping well this week at all, I think that has something to do with it. Hoping for a more restful day which will help my mindset. I don't think I'll lose a pound from my starting weight this challenge, this one has been difficult. Will be happy to get back to where I was on 4/12 at this point.

4/18 - 144.4. Feeling very stuck. Wins yesterday: easy short recovery run and a short upper body weight circuit, long dog walk. Hydrated fairly well, room for improvement though. Still grazing/snacking too much at night. I start the day very strong and motivated, and lose it as the day goes on. Something needs to change. I am trying to focus on the positive - that I've lost over 5 pounds in less than a month. That's a great achievement. But I'm having a rough week and not feeling good about my efforts/progress in this challenge. Doing my best to regroup.

4/19 - 144.0. Wins yesterday - RPM class and a long dog walk. Hydrated well. Cupcakes at work so of course I had one, no willpower! But it didn't put me too far over my calorie goal for the day. Leaving later today for a weekend away at my in-laws'. Won't weigh in (I'm sure they have a scale but I like to weigh on mine for consistency) but will try to check in if I can. Will be hard to track food since I'm not preparing it but I'll do my best. Goal is to get out for long walks with the dog when I can, stay hydrated, and practice mindful eating in an attempt to not overindulge. My IL's - all of my husband's family, actually - are very fixated on food. Every meal is huge, they are great cooks but all meals are very heavy and there is always dessert. Portion control will be key. Will see on Monday what kind of damage was done

4/20 - traveling no scale
4/21 - traveling no scale

Day/Weight/Comment

04/13/19 202.6#. I see a new future of new low weights! I was 201.3# on 6/21/13 when I started MFP. I am 1.3# away from that number. I am very excited! It has been too long that I have been under 200#. I had always sworn that I would NEVER be over 200# and that I would starve myself if needed. Well a new scale was bought and immediately I was 205#. That was around 16 years ago that I first saw that big number. Little did I know that I would see a pregnancy weight of 264# or my heaviest non pregnancy weight of 236.8#. I am feeling so much better! God has truly answered my prayers and has motivated me to do something about my weight. Over a year ago I was blessed with food allergies. But I have now realized how much better I can feel when I am eating right and not eating all the processed I used to be eating. I hope eventually I will learn to like cooking, I look forward to that day. But so far, I have made changes I can live with. I plan to keep this up after Lent also. I haven't felt this good for YEARS!
56 ounces water. 2,245 calories in. I averaged 7 hrs and 2 minutes for sleep last week. 2,214 steps.
04/14 204#. GOT starts today! I'm really looking forward to it! 2,550 steps. 1,796 calories in. 28 ounces water.
04/15 204.6#. 1,888 calories in. 47 ounces water. 4,452 steps. I have completed my good diary for 45 days in a row. This is a huge accomplishment for me.
04/16 204.2#. I'm surprised by this with the high carb suppers I've been having. I've also been terrible with water. 1,522 calories in. 55 ounces of water. 5,094 steps. Not bad for a lazy day.
04/17 202.4#

04/18 202.2#. 5,450 steps. Calories in: 2,655 😲😱😟. 71 oz water. I suspect I will feel completely rotten in the next couple of days…
04/19 203.6#. Fasting for Lent. I'm glad Easter is almost here. Today I'm using fasting as a way to make up for the last 2 days, which is the wrong reason to be fasting. The good news is, I'm still down 0.6# for the week.

04/19 - No Scale - Stayed at boyfriend's last night because we got home so late from dinner with a friend. The scale at work hasn't budged since last Friday (granted I'm fully clothed with boots on when I weigh in for Biggest Loser at work) so I'm hoping that means since it's the same as when I was at my lowest, I've dropped a little excess water weight since yesterday. But I won't hold my breath and I'll find out for sure come Monday.

04/15 - Long weekend. Bloated as all get out from high salt dinner (the food we had planned didn't thaw in time and I hadn't been to this one Chinese buffet before so we decided to go there instead). Worked outside all day helping to clean up the garden and plant some new flowers but barely had any water. I know this should be temporary as I even woke up feeling like I'd just stuffed myself silly with food. Good news is that I'm starting 2lbs higher which means hopefully only downward from here!
04/16 - There it is! I knew the weekend weight was just water that'd drop off. I feel much better and less bloated in general. I'm hurting so bad today (the injections were last night and take about 24-48 hours to really kick in but until then, it's achy from the slight trauma). Stuck at my desk and probably can't stand too much so my steps and therefore activity will be low. Already ate breakfast because dinner was so small I was still hungry but there were no leftovers or snacks at my friend's house and I woke up at 4 drenched in sweat and stomach growling. Gotta be careful on food from here on out today. Lots of water it is! I didn't make goal yesterday but after 2 days of almost no water, it'll take me a day or two to build back up. Feeling confident despite the inconveniences and bumps in the road.
04/17 - WATER, GIRL, DRINK YOUR FOXING WATER (I have a water bottle that says "For Fox Sake, Drink Your Effing Water" so I decided to play on that). Late night, grilled hot dogs (no bun) with my neighbors but cheese puffs when hungry apparently are my downfall. And I didn't even know I liked them! Plus I replaced my last 15oz of water for the day with beer. Oops. So likely sodium, late dinner, and water. Should go back down again if I stay on track today
04/18 - Well, late night unexpected dinner out did me in, especially with sodium. Was good on water but could be better (hit my 75oz goal). Pretty sure between eating lunch out (work) and then surprise dinner out with friends, I went way over calories. New day, try again. Frustrating because I get my tattoo today and it was my 10lb loss reward but I'm back to 8lb loss instead. Ugh. Motivation to earn it back I suppose.

OK, a new round! Maybe it's the sunshine and warmer weather, but I feel the winter blues slipping away and feel optimistic about getting back to my previous low in a couple of months. Step by step! Have a great Saturday!

Today will be challenging foodwise, but I'll do what I can do.

04/15 - 153
Way to much salt and way too little water yesterday. Today's a new day.

04/16 - 153
Vegan Chinese yesterday, so more sodium overload, and I had to teach last night, came home hungry, and ate a bunch of wheat thins. Oh well. Off for a walk along the river and a more salad-y day today.

04/17 - 152
I went for a lovely 5-mile walk along our Rivergreenway yesterday. Wildflowers everywhere! Spring beauties, swamp buttercups, dog-tooth violents all in bloom and Mayapples, violets, bedstraw, trillium all about ready. And birds, birds, birds, from LBJs ("little brown jobs" -- birder talk) to Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed Hawks, and Great Blue Herons. Fabulous!

04/18 - 153
Hover, hover.

04/19 - 152.8
It's rainy and cold, but the 5 eggs in the nest on my front porch have turned into naked baby house finches, so I'm all warm and fuzzy. And I'm having lunch with a new friend, so that will warm me up some more. I'll try to be good.

Have a lovely weekend, all!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-161

4/13-163 It is good to be here and wonderful to have all of you here. I always have my coffee with you in the mornings.😊☕️
4/14-166-Heavy salty food, it was really hot while we were at an outside event and I didn’t drink enough water. I’ll get back into the swing of things with my walking tomorrow.
4/15-162-I drank plenty of water and didn’t eat any of the heavy, salty food we had leftover from Saturday. I’m back to walking.
4/16-164-walked 7 miles yesterday and drank lots of coffee and iced tea instead of water. I planned on being good at dinner but my friend made some sliced baked sweet potatoes in the oven and I had seconds.....and now it’s raining. Tomorrow will be better.
4/17-164-The rain stopped and I got a walk in. The weather should be nice now, for a walk and bike ride.Glad to be in 160’s.
4/18-163-I get to visit my sister to celebrate her birthday; hopefully I won’t eat like a pig! I made her a quilt and am excited!
4/19-163-I’ll gladly take that after eating out yesterday. I got to see my sister and when I got home, I had protein powder in milk for dinner and put on my weighted vest and went for a good walk. I did not have any alcohol this week which is most excellent for me.

Good luck this week!!!🌸

Round 74 SW : 201.8 GW : 199.8

4/13 - 201.0 - Starting off the weekend good! Although, I wasn't the best last night and let stress get to me so may have had some rum, coke, and chocolate, so I wouldn't be surprised if that shows up in tomorrow's weigh in.
4/14 - 202.0 - Not going to complain! Now to be good and not succumb to the kids' snacks!
4/15 - 201.7 - Kept it semi in-control over the weekend! *dance*
4/16 - 200.8 - Nice trend so far

Trying to stay on track as much as I can this week.. Saturday we will be going to the Renaissance Faire and I never end up eating as nice as I should; I just love scotch eggs and that's the only place I can find them!
4/17 - 199.0 - Trying to not get too excited, ate a couple things yesterday that I shouldn't have (darn coworkers bringing in cupcakes!) but think I stayed close to my calories, so we'll see if there's a bump tomorrow or Friday
4/18 - 199.0 - I'll take it! I've been eating way too much chocolate lately; still staying under my calories, but it still may affect my weight, we'll see
4/19 - 199.2 - Not surprising as I haven't been eating at a deficit lately. Hopefully tomorrow I don't end up going over too much at the Ren Faire, but we will also be walking a lot so maybe that will help

Day/Weight/Comment

4/13 - 178 - 38g carbs, 32g net carbs. Carbs were: cauliflower, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, fried chicken, au jus sauce.
4/14 - 177.6 - 40g carbs, 21g net carbs. Carbs were: keto seed porridge, fried chicken, pumpkin seeds, blueberry vanilla goat cheese, horseradish in tuna.

4/15 - 177.2 - 120g carbs, guessing. Visited grands, didn't take food with me for everyone. I think they were somewhat disappointed, since it seemed to be a scramble for food. Sub shop, ugh. My youngest son brought his birthday cake to celebrate with family. Carbs were: chicken tenders, a slice of the most delicious raspberry filled amaretto cake w/amaretto buttercream frosting. Yeah it was decadent. Worth every carb and calorie, but not worth the miserable stuffed feeling afterwards.
4/16 - 177 - 24g carbs, 20g net carbs. Carbs were: breading on chicken tender, salad, pumpkin seeds, salad dressing.

4/17 - 175.2 - 38g carbs, 34g net carbs. (89g carbs, 85g net carbs) adjusted for cake😃
Carbs were: 1 baby potato, zucchini, breaded flounder, peanuts, cake. Quick added 400 calories & 50g carbs to food diary for cake. Cake must go! Passover is coming up!

4/18 - 177.6 - 50g carbs, 45g net carbs. Carbs were: green beans, mini naan, turkey kielbasa, broccoli slaw, salad dressing.

4/19 - 176.4 - 105g carbs, 101g net carbs. Carbs were: naan, unleavened bread, arugula, balsamic vinegar. Passover😁

GW = 145

1st RD 74: SW 199.2 -- EW 195
2nd RD Goal Min -2 lbs = 193

Meal Plan! Meal Plan! Meal Plan!
Last week worked AWESOME! Make the time Sunday to MEAL PLAN and SHOP! Enter it all into MFP so it’s permanent and I will get this DONE! Vacation here I come! New ME here I come!

4/13…194.8... -.2
Scale went down another .2 Decided NOT to go to the fish fry and came home and worked out instead. Yay Me! Made ST Fish Sticks and roasted veggies for dinner and while cooking 2 oz of blueberry vodka then glass o wine while I stuck my feet in the amazing massager DH bought me for my bday last year. I am so blessed and feeling it. Have lunch out with friends today so already entered what I am going to have (carnitas tostada and only one at 288 cals - NO BEER) and sticking to it. Happy Saturday EVERYONE. Stay ON PLAN!
4/14… 195...+.2
Not too bad considering our hosts last night added mashed potatoes and wine to the menu. I had a feeling so put in an extra workout and logged in the wine before I left. The taters were a complete surprise, but I barely had a 1/4 cup so YAY Me!
4/15… 195.8... +.8
Boo.. overindulged. Kept the food in check but had some beer and wine. Hoping most of the lb is the saltiness of dinner. Will see after today. Meal planned well and shopped yesterday so ready for the week.
4/16…197.2... +1.4
Double boo and bummed. Didn't get too crazy over cals, but sodium was ridiculous and had to taste everything hubby is prepping for a big luncheon he is putting on. Bad choices.
4/17…195.8... -1.4
That's better. DH brought home lots of leftovers from the lunch so the boys in the house ate big and weren't hungry for any sort of dinner. Had the place to myself and stuck to plan for lunch so wasn't too hungry myself. I refuse to register a gain in 10 flipping days! Bound and determined. Have 5 more days to ditch that other lb. I can do this. Even with Easter because with MFP, ST and CMT I have all the tools I need. +Will Power? Can't be beat!
4/18…195.4... -.4
So yesterday reweighed after some tummy trouble and it went down to 195. Had a difficult couple of days with my lovely intestinal track... so seeing the extra .4 today when I was really good yesterday is a bit of a bummer. Was a higher sodium day with some turkey albondigas soup so planning on that coming down tomorrow. Doesn't look like I am going to see that 2 lb loss this round without a miracle

. Saved my breakfast for work cuz we had a breakfast and Easter Egg hunt. I work at a fabulous place so lots of fun. No cookies, cakes or sweet stuff. Was reminded how much I love oatmeal with strawberries and blackberries! It's a good day! Happy Holy Thursday and the start of the Triduum! Easter here we come!
4/19…192.4... -3
WOW! I really WAS holding onto that salt! And I read someone else posting how they have a few days of slight gains or no loss at all then BAM a nice drop. So so so happy. Today is Good Friday and a fast day so lots of little munching until dinner so it all equals one meal. Should be able to keep it!

I was really happy with last round and I’m continuing a few goals

Water! I get sloppy when it comes to water
Lower sodium
Keep up with walking, maybe I can hit another 5k steps

04/13 345.2 I was out of control with my sodium yesterday and a little over calories too. Add in that after I posted yesterday I pulled a few muscles in my leg and the water weight was inevitable. I’m resting today and I’m sure I’ll see it all drop off again in a few days.

04/14 344.2 First of what I’m sure will be several drops. I have a lowish sodium week planned. If I stay on course I should be to close to 340 by end of round.

04/15 343.4 And now a little below my round start weight. Hopefully I’ll see a little more loss over the next few days.

04/16 343

04/17 342.4 I’m a little surprised because of spasticity in my leg causing me some trouble. I was far less mobile yesterday because of it and I thought for sure I’d see some water retention. My odd nsv yesterday was my husband noticing that it’s already easier for him to help me up.

04/18. 341.6 And now I’m past forty pounds lost.

04/19 340.2 Well that’s a nice unexpected loss. I know that I have a slightly heavier sodium day planned today so I’m betting I’ll have a bounce up tomorrow. I’m so close to my goal for this month and can’t wait to watch the 330’s go by(e)

@allmannerofthings RE: mindful eating - don’t know if these are words of wisdom but I realized many years ago that “I am the only one who controls what goes in my mouth.” Also bear in mind that ALL CALORIES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. I have to say that eating keto for almost 2 years, I am very mindful of my eating. It has been shown to reverse T2 diabetes, which I do not have. You just have to think about what you are putting in your mouth BEFORE you do it. It does become second nature.

I love this group for getting me back on tract and helping to keep me accountable. I love reading all the emails and know there are lots of people struggling like I am with the late night and stressed out from work cravings! I know .6 lbs isn't much to lose but it a start for me! I have lost 12.4 lbs! I have 12.6 lbs left to go until I reach my first goal weight!!!

Snowflake1968 · April 2019

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/13: 194.2 (I got TOM 3 days early again! 🙁 at least I maintained my weight from yesterday! Last night I had some Chipotle and it was so yummy after a long week! I also did a 45 minute elliptical workout as soon as I got home after work. Have a nice weekend!

4/14: 195.0 (I guess I didn’t gain too much this TOM, so that’s amazing! I did a 15 minute elliptical workout and a 15 minute total body workout! I also went to dinner last night at a Cuban place and had lots of papa rellenas and chicken croquettes. It was so yummy and worth all the working out all week!)

4/15: 196.4 (There's that gain I was expecting from the weekend...hopefully I lose some of that TOM weight by Friday! Yesterday, I did a 45 minute elliptical workout and had one slice of pizza and a breadstick for dinner last night. I am looking forward to a fresh week and we'll see if it's a successful one. Happy Monday!)

4/16: 196.4 (TOM has ended, but my weight continues to stay up like it always does for a few days after. I did a core workout, 10 minute elliptical workout and 15 minute HIIT elliptical workout last night. I ate at a deficit with a grilled chicken salad and a small portion of ice cream. Gonna continue the grind and see what happens!)

4/17: 195.2 (Finally, some sort of progress in the right direction! I had to cut my workout short to prep dinner last night. I did a 10 minute elliptical workout followed by 15 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical. I made some chicken chow mein and it was soooo good and worth the long prep time. I'm hoping I have a loss by my official weigh in day on Friday!)

4/18: 194.4 (Okay, I'm on the right track! I have just 0.2 pounds to be below my weight last Friday. I'm hoping for a good day today with my calories and exercise to see a new low tomorrow morning. Last night, I did not do a workout since I had a nail appointment after work #priorities. I made spaghetti with meat sauce with garlic bread last night!

)

4/19: 192.8 (What a woosh to see happen this morning! I did a 30 minute strength training workout and ate turkey meatballs with pasta. I’m 0.8 pounds away from my goal! I want this diet break haha)
